Explaining the Email FromName, FromAddress, and From Properties

See more Email Object Examples

This example explains the email object's FromName, FromAddress, and From properties. Perl

use chilkat();

# The email's FROM name and address can be set in several ways.
# It can include an optional friendly name (which is just a description),
# and it must include an address.

# For example:
$email1 = chilkat::CkEmail->new();
$email1->put_Subject("test");
$email1->put_Body("test");

$email1->put_FromName("Joe Sample");
$email1->put_FromAddress('joe.sample@example.com');

# the From property contains both the FromName and FromAddress
# This produces the following output:
# From: "Joe Sample" <joe.sample@example.com>
print "From: " . $email1->ck_from() . "\r\n";
print "--------------------------------------------------" . "\r\n";

# Examine the MIME of the email:
print $email1->getMime() . "\r\n";
print "--------------------------------------------------" . "\r\n";

# Output is:

# 	MIME-Version: 1.0
# 	Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 12:32:13 -0600
# 	Message-ID: <02B461C6D12FA6686C3151A649ED8D5BBFBE0721@CHILKAT13>
# 	Content-Type: text/plain
# 	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
# 	X-Priority: 3 (Normal)
# 	Subject: test
# 	From: "Joe Sample" <joe.sample@example.com>
# 
# 	test

# --------------------------------------------
# Alternatively, the From property can be set, and this 
# implicitly sets the FromName and FromAddress properties.

$email2 = chilkat::CkEmail->new();
$email2->put_From('Joe Sample <joe.sample@example.com>');

print "FromName: " . $email2->fromName() . "\r\n";
print "FromAddress: " . $email2->fromAddress() . "\r\n";
print "--------------------------------------------------" . "\r\n";

print $email2->getMime() . "\r\n";
